The Colortd Exodus.


The emigration of the negroes
from the hill lands to tho swamp
still continues, not only from this
section, but from all parts of the
State and in fact from all parts of
the Southern States. While some
look upon this sudden hc.ira us
presasius disaster to our agricultu-
raj interests, others are Of the opin'
ion that it is the beginning of an
era OF prosperity. They argue that
white labor is and has been ready
to move southwark, but has been
held in check for the reason that it
would hc brought into competition
with N gro labor, and now that that
upstacle is being removed, II good
class of intelligent whites will come
in. That they will come, may be
80. but that they can take the place
0f the colorcd laborers is doubtful.
The staple product OF this section
is cotton, and long experiences has
shown that the negro aud the male
are necessary To the successful and
profitable raising of that crop.
White men from the North and
West could not stand the heat of
the summer sun in July and Aug
ust, they are inexperienced Ia re-
gard 10 the cultivation of cotton,
nor could they be controlled as the
colorci laborer, who has been
schoUled To supervision ana is sub.
servicnt 10 mastery.
The cauSe Of the general exodus
on the part of the negroes is a,trib-
utable, in a great measure, to the
ShortncSs OF the cotton crop aud TO
the call cotton system which has
prevailed. When the negro is Ell.
gagged tor the year, either as Il rent
er or for share in the crop, h. is III.
duccd TO put nearly all, If. not all,
of his land in cotton, and should
there he Il failure of the cotton crop,
he is utterly bapkrupted, becomes
dissatisfied and determines To be,tQr
his condition by removal to c0un.
try that has been represented to
him rs an EldOrado.
What is the remedy for thisl
There is no question but What ne.
gro labor is the most available for
all purposes for the Southern coun.
try; and if that is the case, how can
the emigration be checked and
made undesirable on the part ofthe
negroes in the future. They should
be encouraged TO plant sufficient
acreage in grain to furnish food for
the family, raise stock, poultry,c;c.,
aud should there be a failure of the
cotton crop they would have sone-
thing to fall back OH and not be
utterly diSheartened. This policy
must DC adopted sooner or later. II
I there is to be prosperity the sail
cotton" system must be abandoned.
Food crops must be produced, we
must have our smoke houses at

raised, and wool must be grown

EumOrs OF War.

The prospects OF Il general war
in Europe are growing stronger
every day. Germany and Russia
have formed All alliance, while
Austria stands alO0f. What the
cause of this war feeling is, can
hardly be said, unless it is on ac-
count of the grasping desire OF
Russia. \ little section of country
about the size ofCopiah county,
called Bulgaria, is the seeming
trouble, though 1t is feared that
Russia has further designs. Should
au alliance be formed 10y England,
Austria aud the other European
powers, it would involve the whole
country in war. France wants Al
SAGE a;,d Lorraine back, ana this
might be her opportunity. Should
there be war the price of bread

vance heavily, and our planters
